QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) you got me. i can't fight that logic. Here's the logic: Politte has an era of more then a run and a half lower then Wickmans, less hits allowed, less bb/9, more k's/9. Bascially every single stat Cliff has been better in.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:03 PM) note to soxtalk -- this is not, i repeat, NOT, rotisserie baseball. Ok, well what would you like to look at era?? K's?? What??

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) Wickman is the AL saves leader. He stays. Who cares if he's the saves leader, Politte's stats trump every one of Wickman's.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) All-Star pitchers Mark Buerhle Jon Garland Kenny Rogers Roy Halladay Bartolo Colon Matt Clement Johan Santana Mariano Rivera BJ Ryan Eddie Guardado Dustin Hermanson Bob Wickman Alright. Who gets thrown off the island so the Holy Lord of Middle Relief can pitch in the All-Star Game? Wickman's been good, Politte's been better.

QUOTE(SuperSteve @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:26 PM) He throws hard as hell. I never said obvious too, but IMO he will be good. I never said he is going to be great, or a Cy Young winner, but he has the stuff to be a good solid pitcher. I'd sure as hell take him. He's got dynamite stuff there is no doubt about that.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) please. tell me why. Because middle relievers our a positions they're in your bullpen just like a closer. Just because middle relievers don't pitch in the 9th inning doesn't mean they're not just as important as a closer. You can argue whether or not Cliff is an allstar but to say he shouldn't be because he's a 7-8th inning guy is just ridiculous.

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) i truly believe that if cliff politte was a freaking brewer, none of us would care if he made the all-star team. and you know why? because he's a freaking middle reliever!!!! this is the ALL-STAR GAME. it's like putting a guy on the team because he's really, really good at sacrificing runners over. no one goes to games to see craig counsell move guys over, and no one goes to games to watch cliff politte pitch the 8th inning. let's move on. is cliff politte really good at what he does? f*** yeah. but he's not an all-star. This is one of the more ridiculous posts I've seen on this site.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) You are looking at two teams whose offenses were considerably better than the White Sox is. Those teams could get away with having less in the pitching department because the teams could mash with the best of them. But look what happened to St Louis when they met a team that was just as good hitting, but had better pitching? The Red Sox mowed them down like noones business because they had pitching. Houston also had 0 bullpen outside of Lidge, they couldn't get him the ball.

QUOTE(Cubs Suck23 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:05 PM) A report here in SF on the flagship station is that Ned Colletti will be in Detroit the next few days to watch the Whitesox play.. Dont know if that means Schmidt is coming to the Sox Well I don't think the sox are going to trade any major league talent so if the Giants scouts are coming out it wouldn't surprise me if they're coming out for Weds.....

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 04:06 AM) 0.0000000001% is what it should be. Why don't you tell everyone why you pretend you don't like me even though everyone knows you do love me.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:57 AM) Real Mature :headshake I always am You got me with bringing back an old quote, I had to get back at you, it's only fair

Kalapse love The Cock 68 percent. Dr. Love thinks that a relationship between Kalapse and The Cock has a reasonable chance of working out, but on the other hand, it might not. Your relationship may suffer good and bad times. If things might not be working out as you would like them to, do not hesitate to talk about it with the person involved. Spend time together, talk with each other. I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!1

qwerty and witesoxfan got 58 percent. I just think that one's going to work out.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 03:22 AM) Understatement of the year. I knew you were going to chime in you ass.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:51 AM) Who are you to be talking, I found this from you: > Lee for Podsednik/Ginter?, Rumor gaining steam :headshake That was my evil twin I never liked Carlos that much when he was around but for some reason I thought we could get more for him. I know somewhere in an offseason thread I didn't see Scotty play that much so all I could go off of were numbers and those weren't pretty last year. But yeah I'm dumb.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:34 AM) People freaking out about Widger making the team over Davis and Burke. Keep 'em coming

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) It's funny to go back and look at old threads just to see how stupid people are at times. I remember like 3 threads spewing hatred for Politte when he sucked during ST. I remember that very well.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) I've been looking at old thread for about the last hour. I found this gem from Tex: Tex has some insite: So you also browse through old threads when everyone else is gone.

Anyone else realize anthrax disappeared since he can't complain about kenny anymore

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) We were both in a 6 month old thread at the same time at 3 Oclock in the morning. I thought I some how bumped this thread by accident. That is kind of freaky. Looking through offseason threads is definitely fun and interesting though.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) GO JAZZ!! Have fun with Ruben Patterson

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:21 AM) That's why laptops are the s***. Watch the Sox game on my Big Screen and watch live draft coverage on my notebook. f***ing lifesaver. That's a good call. I just got laptop for a graduation gift a few weeks back, I forgot I can do stuff like that.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) 6/27 Update Thanks for that bham. Looks like Young has no problem hitting his homers against top prospects.
